SWG Output & Sizing Calculator

Estimate the daily chlorine demand an SWG has to cover, compare it with a cell's 24-hour rating, and see the runtime or output needed to keep up.

Manual-backed SWG ranges

Planned output covers the daily chlorine demand.

Sizing inputs

Use the installed family for the manual-backed salt range, then size output against the chlorine demand you need to replace.
